I don’t think it’s Ben. My understanding is that his not from Arkansas. And he didn’t see his first Dovecote battle reenactment until he went with his friend when he was older. At least that’s what I got from his short history story.

Let me just say that, although this is brief, catching up on these short stories you’ve been posting have been… just… ALL THE FEELS ;3; It reminds me how Dovecote Crest was one of the inspirations for me to start my own webcomic. I just… I LOVE this comic so much, and I’m so thoroughly enjoying these short stories. siiiigh ~<3

This reminds me so much of class field trips, when I was little, especially the fact-laden historical ones, like this. Everything was not-really-paying-attention, in-my-own-little-world, la-la-la, and then — LUNCHTIME! Freedom! Huzzah!

Tess is the only character in the story that doesn’t seem to fit with everybody else. She’s not a history buff at all. The question is how did she really decide to do something. Again you guys do great work.
